The Story so Far

Get the popcorn folks. GLP is getting ready to lose again.

They are going after barrister Sarah Phillimore for referring to a man as a man. They think they are going to lawfare her into silence.

Her blog:
Here we are now: Entertain us
I have had now 7 years and counting of the various tactics used to 'silence' those who won't comply with prevailing orthodoxy. How are those tactics holding up?

The only thing is other TAs have already tried this on Phillimore multiple times.

They went to the Bar Council their claims were dismissed. They all failed. More to the point this ‘Kate’ is the same guy complaining again who already failed. Sarah Phillimore knows the law and likes explaining it to TAs and making them lose. So she doesn't even resent the attempt.

As Sarah has stated "They pick on someone who not only enjoys this but has now a vast repository of knowledge about the law in this area."

Part 2

So the Fox Basher decided to tell massive lies about Sarah Phillimore now he faces a defamation action.

GLP's case against Sarah rested on evidence from "Kate" and this turned out to be the infamous man in a dress Sophie Sparkles. A guy who was too obnoxious, chaotic and threatening even for the Scottish Greens to tolerate. Even for someone as incompetent as the Fox Basher this plan seemed particularly bad.

A band of helpful gardeners assembled and planted a lot of seeds and soon Sarah's garden was blooming.

Sarah assembled a huge dossier of evidence about Sparkles showing his instability. She carefully built up her case using her excellent legal skills.

After giving the Fox Basher plenty of time to apologise Sarah took action for defamation in December and her blog outlines the story so far nicely:

Letter before Action
I publish here my letter to Jolyon Maugham. There is no freedom of speech to tell harmful lies about others.

For the background to all of this, please see my response to the complaint of the Good Law Project which they made to the Bar Standards Board on August 26 2025. Shortly after this complaint, Mr Maugham chose to assert to his many followers online that I had ‘led a campaign of harassment’ so wicked that it led a trans identifying man to attempt suicide. I deal with that claim at some length in my response. It is not true.

I asked via email on 30 August 2025 for Maugham to delete, apologise and make a donation of £5K to For Women Scotland. His refusal came a few days later in a series of videos posted to TikTok and Instagram where he was clearly excited about the (false) idea that JK Rowling would be joining me in legal action against him. Being able to tell his followers that he faced attack by the Nasty Billionaire Transphobe would clearly have more cachet and would attract more funds to the Good Law Project than a much less sexy tussle with a junior provincial barrister.

I am sorry to disappoint Mr Maugham. It’s just me. Well me, and the so far 990 very generous people who have helped me raise the money to be able to even contemplate this kind of legal action. My grateful thanks to every one of them. I do not think that anyone has ‘freedom of speech’ to tell harmful lies about another person and certainly not a senior member of a regulated profession, who will rely on his status to give his words power and cause harm.

Now the Bar Standards Board has decided that Sarah has no case to answer and released a letter explaining how the GLP had failed again. Details here:

Right Here. Right Now.

Another stunning technical victory for the Good Law Project shows that sanity is being restored to the public debate about gender identity, slowly but ever so surely.

On 27 March 2026 I received the welcome and to be honest not entirely expected news that the Bar Standards Board was not going to investigate further the complaint of the Good Law Project against me on behalf of trans identifying man Euan Weddell, aka Sophie Molly/Sparkles.

GLP are planning to release a statement which will no doubt spin what has happened as much as possible in its usual style.

Will the Fox Basher's long history of misogynistic hatred for any women who has knowledge about biology and legal incompetence come back to haunt him again?

If he is defeated it will be a warning to all TAs that this type of bigotry and massive lies are not going to be accepted legally in a country where women and men are legally equal.

Whatever happen's Sarah's bravery once again will pay a significant part in restoring a world in which discussing the reality of the existence of male and female human beings is accepted.

Her garden still needs more plants, and harvest so far has been excellent and you can keep watching this thread for more proof of that.

"...And let's send a clear message to the world: fuck bigots and especially nazirowling with a splintery rolling pin."

This doesn’t surprise me. This is up there with the videos the Billings made. And Daviana. And a gazillion other men who want to use menace, violence and intimidation to convince women that they too are ‘women’ and ‘lesbians’.

Operation: Let them speak.

Violence and menace is a feature not a bug.

is this not the creepy poster who on another thread was asking another poster to meet up for a one on one , then getting upset when she said no? That goodness she didn’t take him up on it!

Sparkles is now having a meltdown because Penis News let Wes Streeting publish an article.

Thank you for sharing this. Whenever I waiver in this fight I am shown more examples of entitled male violence and I am secure in the knowledge that we have no choice but to fight, as the cost of allowing them to ‘win’ is too high.

Happily they have now been indulged for so long they really can’t see how abhorrent their public comments are, but even captured institutions are waking up to their violence and threat. If Weddell hadn’t publicly committed himself to so much insult and threat against women as he did, the BSB may have concluded differently.

These men cannot help themselves. The misogyny and violence is what fuels them.

Oh, what a very nasty piece of work.

“Splintery rolling pin”. Violent, rapey bastard. Perhaps he’s that rapist gender invented by Sturgeon.

Nah, just a Plain old entitled male incel who can’t deal with women saying no

The doctor told me I could have something like 4x the regular dose safely as they were worried about a possible anaphylactic reaction prior to issuing my EpiPens. That is obviously not medical advice I would pass on.

Why does Jolyon like to surround himself with Incels?

Sarah Phillimore on X has reproduced Aida's picture and comments including And let's send a clear message to the world: fuck bigots and especially nazirowling with a splintery rolling pin.

Her reaction,
"Happily even on Bluesky he gets little traction - the quote is his own - but that’s still 948 people who think it’s worth following a man who urges corrective rape on uppity women. And you would guess nothing of this reading his erudite plea to the BSB to counter ‘transphobia’."

His reaction? He,
'will be amending my complaint to BSB based on this thread, to show exactly what happens when they fail to uphold their standards, how then a barrister then feels free to harass people, and claim that they are, and I quote: "a man who urges corrective rape on uppity women." '

He might mind the 'man' bit more than the 'corrective rape' idea?

Trans visibility is a good idea. Organisations, government, the courts, the general public - they should have sight as to the kind of people who are claiming to be women and demanding women's rights.

Phillimore will at some point, be told she should just ignore this behaviour, because acknowledging it only encourages at some point.

Because this seems to be a pattern where women are told they shouldn't draw attention to the threats and by doing so they are somehow inflaming the problem and encouraging it.

We've seen this pattern a few times now.

The spiral is still increasing though and every time authority steps in to acknowledge, yes there is a problem and women are justified in what they are saying, the threats get worse.

I still think we are on track for a significant incident in the UK which will be a clear act of extremist behaviour. The government do not want to acknowledge the existence of left wing incelism.

I am delighted to note that Aida will now be hitching his wagon to the Good Law Projects efforts. I almost feel sorry for them. But not quite!

What does he think the comment “fuck bigots and especially nazirowling with a splintery rolling pin” is if it’s not suggesting corrective rape?

I can only assume he thinks it’s an entirely justifiable response to ‘harassment’ and ‘transphobia’. But even the most captured organisation is going to falter at permitting this kind of threat to be acceptable. I do hope the GLP take him under their wing. It is their blindness to how appalling this behaviour is, that will secure my vindication. And hopefully that will act to make other women even a little bit safer.

It is corrective rape.

The thing is that a group of male people have lost sight of what is acceptable behaviour in their claim to be ‘punching up’ or to be fighting what they perceive as hatred of their righteous position. When you have been told / celebrated / affirmed that you are the most marginalised because of your belief that your personal and subjective reality is material reality, I think the chances are very high that you have lost sight of material reality.

When language has been twisted for so many important descriptions to mean the opposite of what the words were intended to mean, it significantly reduces understanding. Even within someone’s own mind.

Wow, the reveals on this thread are quite something.

That's just plain nasty but not surprising.

Well every time Aida pays a visit we know exactly what to post in reply to his smug and self-righteous verbiage.

I very much hope Aida's wife is able to access support. Should she ever make her way to this website, there will be plenty of women happy to listen, able to signpost to solid and trustworthy organisations that can help.

I agree, but at least she's an adult.

There are young children in that household. Imagine finding out one of your parents wrote such disgusting things on social media.

Well quite.

There have been lots of examples of TRAs displaying signs of narcissism in accordance with
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Quoting a paraphrase of something they are on record as having said - e.g. the splintery-rolling-pin horror - as an example of an offence against them is another classic tactic - DARVO - Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

'You're saying I'm a horrible person, accusing me of saying such a nasty thing, how could you..'...

I am concerned by anyone who thinks “And let's send a clear message to the world: fuck bigots and especially nazirowling with a splintery rolling pin” is acceptable to say or even think having contact with children. There is a clear safeguarding issue if someone thinks that statement is in anyway appropriate to put on social media.

Colour me surprised that someone who uses so many filters on his photos has no filter when it comes to his words.

I’m not surprised in the least that one of our sneering ploppers blatantly advertising his misogyny via sexualised violent rhetoric. He can go fuck himself.

I saw a clip of Polanski yet again criticising JKR claiming she punches down of trans people. Not for a second can he understand the impact on being on the receiving end of a constant barrage of graphical violent abuse. A few sarcastic responses is not punching down. The type of people who are capable of writing such violent posts should be vilified , the type of brain that is capable of imaging such acts belong to people who should be shamed.

It's even more violent a threat than rape with a penis. And he gets away with it on Bluesky, whereas on Twitter people were banned for saying that a man is a man. Even on Mumsnet we've not always been permitted to tell the plain truth without any threatening language. So many posts deleted for pointing out the nature of genderism.
